Relates to aid for career education

This bill changes when career education aid begins in New York schools, moving the starting grade from ten to nine. It increases the per-pupil aid amount from $3,900 to $4,300 for students in grades nine through twelve in career programs like trade, health, or business. School districts receiving this aid must use the funds for career education programs and maintain funding levels comparable to the previous year. The changes take effect for school years starting July 1, 2025, directly affecting school districts offering career education programs.
